I’m pressed for time today (as usual) and don’t have time to download the shots I took of the pathetic site I returned to after only three days away from the house.  As luck would have it, after a cool ( some would say cold) and perpetually wet July, the August long weekend was warm and sunny.  I was in heaven.  My vegetables in traditional containers were in hell.  I returned home to find my herbs, and peppers pitifully wilted and the leaves of  my cucumbers, acorn squash and tomatoes yellowed and crispy.  It was not pretty and one cuke and both squash have succumbed to their injuries.  Piss me off!

BUT – Everything and I mean everything that relied upon my hydroponic watering system including tomatoes, herbs, peppers and all the salad greens were in perfect condition.

I’m struggling with an affordable way to bring this system to market.  The problem being that I’m just too small to buy the volumes that will command a great price so the cost of goods will be ugly and unless I want to market these for free ( or worse yet at a loss- which I can promise you is deadly easy to do) they are going to cost about twice what I hoped to bring them to market for.  Still – They work.  And the relative benefits just keep stacking up so I’ll just have to wait and see what I can do.

Gotta run.  Late for work – again.
